Anyone coming here or going anywhere for that matter should have enough common sense to know what they are getting into and realize that there is likely no liability insurance and there is a good chance that the business operators aren't probably well trained, top flight when going over the safety and the risks. Bottom-line, the participant needs to know their capabilities and if they don't feel safe then just don't do it. Its really not rocket science. The river pics look treacherous at best plus its extremely muddy and anyone of us that lives here knows that when a river swells fast, there is loads of unpredictable debris being carried down with it that is under the surface. You should see that crap I see go floating by when I sit at the spillway.
Hopefully they find this person but the outcome based on the river pictures doesn't look promising.
